Book Hangover - how would you describe yours?

Book Hangovers.........
How often do you get a book hangover, are you a once a week hangover, hmm mmm, book hangover read that is or just a couple a year?

How would you describe your book hangovers?

I have had the book hangovers that when you finish you can't stop talking about, like the best party ever, nothing like what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, nope, you want to have a panel discussion in front of an audience kind of hangover, being loud and to some, obnoxious.

The main book for me that comes to mind is The Manufactured Identity by Heath Sommer, I can still get excited over this book and I read it 4 years ago, now this is a great memorable book hangover. It was a trilogy, loved it, I also had an interview with the author which you can find on my sidebar.

Then I have had the book hangover that I wish I didn't have. The book that I wished I hadn't read and wasted hours of reading for, it really just hurt my head. The one for me is a popular one. Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. I had a venting/discussion post about the book - go here if interested. I have to say Chevy Stevens did a great job because I can still remember details and get frustrated with a hangover if I let myself.

Unfortunately, these book hangovers sometimes create reading slumps for me, which are torture.

So how about you, tell me about your book hangovers and memorable ones if you choose.

Have a great weekend, and no hangovers allowed only amazing book ones :-)

It seems like the worse my book hangover is, the sooner I grab a new book and start reading -- just to get my mind off of it! (After I hand the book to a friend or family member to read so we can talk about it.)

My book hangovers are pretty much like yours, I can't stop talking about it! Later though I'd realize that nobody (outside of the blogosphere) really cares, so it's almost like a little secret I keep. I'd say the perfect example would be when I first read The Thirteenth Tale and The Bell Jar. THAT WAS ROUGH. It hasn't happened to met yet this year, but hopefully it does soon.

This is going to sound weird, but I generally have a small one after each book. It takes me a couple of days to really process a book before I want to pick up another one. The big reading hangovers usually lead me to a reading slump as well. I can relate!

A little after each one, interesting. Before blogging I use to take the time to enjoy my books more and wouldn't pick up another for a few days, this let me enjoy the memory and details more. Thanks for understanding the slump, sigh.

I had a HUGE one last year with In The Company of Shadows by Sonny and Ais. I couldn't sleep, and once i finished the series I kept trying to get EVERYONE to read it. I love those characters! This year it's been The Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson. This one isn't as bad as it could have been since I did a buddy read with 2 other friends :)

Oh great, new books for me to check out, haven't heard of these before. Your series sounds like the trilogy Manufactured Identity to me, I have tried to get everyone to read it and even did a few giveaways.

Thanks for visiting Tea Time with Marce, I appreciate your comments. I have decided to make this an Award Free Zone, thank you for thinking of me but I prefer comments and do my best to be a good networking blogging friend also.
